Finally got my 8.

Just bought my first car, 04 Rx8 MT. only about 58k miles.
Should have a job relatively soon, looking to make a few upgrades in it but nothing extreme. Ive had quite a few suggestions from some friends, just would like to see what someone else would have in mind. Want to lower it eventually, midpipe, maybe some swaybars?
ill have some pics up eventually, just looking for some quick cheap ideas.

Thanks -
Tweek.

Your first mod should be springs, everyone who waits eventually gets them is like "God why didnt i get springs first, this is the best money ive spent on my car to date!"

I mean, the stock lights are pretty nice as it is, then again i dont exactly know the difference between good and bad when it comes to headlights, but they seem decent. how much is a set of LED's? by the way, i do have a couple knicks here and there, the only problem is, its on the quarter panel, and 2 tiny dents on the passenger side door, which were all there when i bought it. i know it will be expensive to fix since of all place it could have been on the car, the aluminum parts get dented. once i find my camera ill take a few pictures, but can anyone give me a quick estimate without seeing it?
